   If there's a RCA phono jack (like what modern tv/vcrs have for
audio and video i/o) in back, then it's most likely one of Apple's
'greenscale' composite monitors. The input is composite video, such as
that put out by Apple IIs, or the video out port of most modern VCRs.
Thus, it displays stuff in either NTSC or PAL 60/50 Hz video, no sound
or anything else. Useful mainly on anything that puts out composite
video, such as the aforementioned Apple II series or VCRs.
